They obviously don't know burglars too well, I'd bet they'd go right for the cash even if it were stored in that stained "safe."

He actually had a conversation with a former burglar

And my question of whether the ..... would be a good place to hide money?

He laughed. “I haven’t heard of that, but I doubt I would have touched something like that had I seen it.”

Yeah but that's one burglar's comments out of what hundreds of thousands of them, or millions worldwide?

I highly doubt they'd go for the typical items of a stereo, computer, etc., that they'd then have to sell it off and possible get caught doing so - when the cash is just right there and doesn't require any selling/trading. Suppose it also would be determined just how desperate a thief was.

Well there`s one positive to be taken from this particular security measure.

You could quite easily save yourself some money, and make your own. :lol:

In fact, you could make them for all your friends. :lol: :lol:

Money should be hidden in something, that can not be moved away.
